Motion:<\/strong> Competition Date: December 17, 2024<\/strong>
This theme tasks us to display motion as the dominant subject of our images.  The motion could be of a person or persons, an animal or animals, a moving man-made object, water, or practically anything that is moving.  Let your creativity shine through! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self Portraits:<\/strong> Competition Date: February 18, 2025<\/strong>
As photographers, we always photograph behind the lens, except when we take a \u201cselfie\u201d with our cell phones. Creating self-portraits will move us out in front of our own lens, and beyond the selfie as we turn the camera around to develop our portraiture skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No selfies for this theme! Selfies are described as simple photos that can be easily taken without a lot of planning. True portraits require preparation, planning and time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you create your self-portrait, consider your location, lighting and composition that will capture a moment that portrays you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, the photo needs to be taken by you, not someone else pushing the shutter, so get out those remotes, use your camera’s timer, say \u201ccheese\u201d and have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texture:<\/strong> Competition Date: April 15, 2025<\/strong>
Texture is described as the visual or tactile\/touchable appearance of something. This theme challenges you to capture a photo with a clearly dominant subject that features texture that can be felt through the presentation of the image.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
